We previously reported that SUMOylation promotes the aggregation of ataxin-1 and JNK is involved in the process. Here we show that dual-specificity phosphatase 18 (DUSP18), a member of protein tyrosine phosphatases, exerts the opposite effects on ataxin-1. DUSP18 associated with ataxin-1 and suppressed JNK activated by ataxin-1. Interestingly DUSP18, but not the other DUSPs interacting with ataxin-1, caused the mobility shift of ataxin-1. De-phosphorylation by DUSP18 was initially suspected as a cause for such an effect; however, the phosphorylation of ataxin-1 was unchanged. Instead DUSP18 inhibited SUMOylation and reduced ataxin-1 aggregation. The catalytic mutant of DUSP18 failed to reduce the SUMOylation and aggregation of ataxin-1 indicating that the phosphatase activity is indispensable for the effects. Moreover, DUSP18 disrupted the co-localization of ataxin-1 with the PML component Sp100. These results together implicate that JNK and DUSP18 reciprocally modulate the SUMOylation, which plays a regulatory role in the aggregation of ataxin-1.
我们之前报道过,SUMOylation 促进了共济失调蛋白 1(ataxin-1)的聚集,而 JNK 参与了这一过程。在这里,我们发现双特异性磷酸酶 18(DUSP18),一种蛋白酪氨酸磷酸酶的成员,对 ataxin-1 产生相反的影响。DUSP18 与 ataxin-1 结合,并抑制了由 ataxin-1 激活的 JNK。有趣的是,DUSP18(而不是与 ataxin-1 相互作用的其他 DUSPs)导致了 ataxin-1 的迁移率改变。最初怀疑 DUSP18 的去磷酸化是这种效应的原因;然而,ataxin-1 的磷酸化没有改变。相反,DUSP18 抑制了 SUMOylation 并减少了 ataxin-1 的聚集。DUSP18 的催化突变体未能减少 ataxin-1 的 SUMOylation 和聚集,表明其磷酸酶活性对于这些效应是必不可少的。此外,DUSP18 破坏了 ataxin-1 与 PML 成分 Sp100 的共定位。这些结果共同表明,JNK 和 DUSP18 相互调节 SUMOylation,这在 ataxin-1 的聚集中发挥了调节作用。
